it was definitely an interesting experience... in a lot of ways, much preferable to backpacking in Thailand or Indonesia was.

But yeah, we went on a 'trek' - basically hiking through tea fields way up high, staying in farmer's huts for a few days and... I got sick. Not sick to my stomach, but like some virus type of thing that gave me a high fever and chills and aches and pains and whatnot and lasted like a week. Need to find my journal since I can't remember exactly where that was... I think Pyin Oo Lwin.
